HARRISBURG – State Rep. Barry Jozwiak (R-Berks) today voted in the state House to approve a bill that would finish the 2015-16 state budget by providing additional funds for schools, farmers and other state programs and services. After the vote, Jozwiak issued the following statement:

“For the sake of Pennsylvania students and parents, as well as the other families that would benefit from this bill, I urge the governor to sign this legislation into law.

“If the governor fails to sign this bill into law and a school shuts down, Pennsylvanians will know without a doubt that Governor Wolf withheld necessary money from those students.

“The governor can help many Pennsylvania families by signing the budget bill approved today by the state House and Senate. I urge the governor to work with us to bring the current year’s budget process to an end.”
